The Wollongbar Alstonville Pioneers will be hoping to farewell Lyle Park in the best way possible, when they contest the FNC Rugby Union Major Semi Finals on Saturday.

The Pioneers have dominated both First and Second Grade competitions this season and will look to book the first spots in the Grand Final in both grades.

Both sides will take on Casuarina, who will bring a big supporter base to the plateau, with the Barbarians contesting every Semi Final on the day.

The U/18's match will see Minor Premiers Lennox Head play the Barbarians at 11:30am before the Second Grade encounter between Wollongbar and Casuarina.

The Women's 10's match has Casuarina clashing with Minor Premiers Casino in what should be a high quality match.

In First Grade, Wollongbar have named a strong side, captained by veteran No. 10 Ben Damon.

It is hard to find a weakness in the Pioneers side but Casuarina will be out to match the early pressure up front before both talented backlines look to take advantage.

The Pioneers will farewell Lyle Park before moving to Elvery next season.

The winners from Saturday's games will move through to the Grand Finals to be held on Saturday 28 September.

The losers will play the winners of Sunday's matches in First and Second Grade between Ballina and Byron Shire. The loser of Sunday's matches will look forward to an early off season.
